After going through a puddle...

My brakes grown for a while and dont work very well, if they are wet sometimes going in reverse they shutter. Is that normal, people have told me so but it seems kinda bad to me?

I've had that happen in really humid weather or after driving through puddles. The shuddering scared the crap out of me but it went away

I just completly did the rear brakes, they needed it and checked the fronts at the same time, they looked fine. I have been thinking my brakes suck too, but I have just been dismissing that as an jeep thing
